Water on the shelf

Storage, treatment, rainwater, greywater, and wells. The references for a household that wants its water supply to depend on knowledge, not luck.

From the tap backward

Water self-reliance runs in layers: the stored supply that covers a disruption, the treatment knowledge that makes any source safe, and the systems thinking that captures, reuses, and protects water year round. The books on this shelf cover all three, from a weekend rain barrel to a working well.

None of them assume you are a plumber or an engineer. They assume you are a capable adult who wants to understand where your water comes from and what to do when it stops.
